Midnight sun or Northern Lights? Whale feeding frenzies or glacier hikes? These are the things that matter most when deciding the best time to visit Reykjavik. The almost 24 hours of daylight in summer – along with warm weather keeps the roads snow free and endlessly drivable. Winter’s harsh temperatures deliver the Aurora. A dilemma indeed.
Discover the real Reykjavik
Much is made of the fire and ice theme in Reykjavik. And as stunning as the geological wonders are, the culture here is more than worth a look. Music and art venues range from the classical to distinctly urban. On the coast, wildlife and whales are your must sees.

Icelandic folk have had to make scant produce last long, long winters. Which has lead to some decidedly pickled and perhaps acquired tastes. Thankfully, times have changed and the food scene extends far beyond the days of mere meat and ale. Though, there’s plenty of that too.

More of Iceland
A more craggy, wild and tousled land we’ve yet to discover. Winter or summer – it really makes no odds. Each season comes with its own beauty. Autumn and spring? We’ve done away with them – just as the vikings did. Snow or sun, the waterfalls are still glistening and the volcanoes are still as awe inspiring. And the whales?
